Moving Forward...

There are times when nothing beats the slap of reality. Especially when one attempts to get to the bottom of a problem but is prevented from doing so due to lack of cooperation from the source. It is just this type of silence that has finally been broken with RIMs confident and in your face statement "deal with it".

Finally after months of wondering where RIM stood in regards to the many problems revealed in their new crop of smartphones, we now know where they stand. And while it strikes me as rather different than what I would have expected, it is the ultimate form of arrogance which leads them to come out with such a statement. The good news is those who were very loyal to the company now have the complete picture of RIMs position.

At this juncture my choice is to accept the fact that they no longer value their loyal customers. To no longer expect the best from them, but rather embrace change and go with the alternate choices we have as consumers who vote with their wallets. In this writers opinion, one potential platform of the future is Android. Always being one focused on being prepared, I have recently taken delivery of one of the latest Android powered smartphones. As not only an early adopter, but one that believes in speed of implementation I have scrapped my BlackBerry in favor of this new open source smartphone. Today marks the first day of a BlackBerry free mobile communications experience. It is with great excitement and anticipation that I move forward joining so many others that have no time for the narrow minded arrogance of a single company. Much like the very concept of open source software, there is a unique independence that comes with this move, which is an opportunity that this writer is not about to miss.
